F9 Fetal Monitor:
When The Power of II and The Pro are Not Enough
A Review on Edan F9 Fetal Monitor
When you just thought, that Cadence II Dual Fetal Monitor (Twins FHR) and the cadence Pro were the best there is, with regards to fetal monitoring, you better stop right there, for Edan Instruments, the trusted name in fetal monitor equipments, has release their F9 Fetal Monitor Series.
F9 fetal monitor is high-end fetal and maternal monitor. It offers the most advanced integrated monitoring for the delivery room in big hospitals, private obstetrician's offices, and antepartum clinics. F9 are designed for moving situation covers the entire continuum of antepartum, intrapartum and postpartum applications.
Like all of other of its preceded fetal monitors, F9 has the basic parameters of FHR, TOCO, Event Mark, and AFM and the internal parameters of IUP, and DECG (optional).
F9 integrates twin's fetal heart rate, uterine activity, fetal movement, intrauterine pressure, fetal direct ECG, Maternal NIBP, SpO2, and ECG, TEMP monitoring.
Our new 12-crystal waterproof untrasound transducer provides broad beam pulsed wave, it makes a signal better, and the smooth TOCO transducer makes the pregnant woman more comfortable.
Its rechargeable Lithium-ion battery can sustain 4-hour continuous working; this makes the characteristics of portable come true.
Data from F9 can be automatically transmitted to the MFM-CNS or Insight Software.
Communication
F9 provides abundant communication functions and interfaces.
MFM-CNS: An Ethernet interface is built in the monitor. Via it and data bus, the data collected by the monitor can be transferred to the MFM-CNS central monitoring system. The monitor can also connect to a wireless network module, which will fulfill the data transference between the monitor and the MFM-CNS.
Insight software: data can be transferred to PC for display and storage.
Display
There are four options of color for F9 screen background: green, blue, black and orange. Details such as baseline, acceleration, deceleration, long-term variability, short-term variability of FHR can be shown vividly on any background.
F9 offers the most advanced integrated monitoring for the mother and fetus. It is tailored to the needs of the moving situation which covers the entire continuum of antepartum, intrapartum and postpartum applications.
Monitoring
With fetal external parameter (Twins monitoring, external uterine contraction), fetal internal parameters (DECG, IUP), and maternal parameters (NIBP ECG TEMP SpO2), F9 can meet the needs of antepartum, intrapartum and postpartum.
External Monitoring
F9 offers non-invasive ultrasound, external TOCO facilities measurements and automatic fetal movement.
Printer
Built-in long life thermal array printer, the system will print a test baseline for ten seconds or so for self-testing before the system enters the monitoring screen. It’s compatible with 152/150mm paper and supports American/International Standard paper. For real-time data, 1/2/3 cm/min recording speed are selectable. In addition, it provides fast printing for stored traces with a high speed up to 25mm/sec.
DECG and IUP
Simultaneous monitoring of twins using the two ultrasound channels or using one untrasound channel and DECG (during labor) channel; the range of DECG can be 30bpm-240bpm (American Standard) or 50bpm-210bpm (International Standard); Using IUP to detect the maternal intrauterine pressure, it will provide more accurate data.
Vibrating Stimulator
Event can be displayed and recorded on CTG trends when connected with a fetal stimulator by an audio cable.
Storage
24 hours waveforms storage and playback makes monitoring convenient.
SOV
Signals Overlap Verification, a smart design to reduce the risk of miscollecting fetal heart signal and will alert when more than one heart rate signal come from the same source.
